No, most likely it won't.

osc already has code in place to use Python 2.5's xml.etree. (We just need
to drop the python-elementtree requirement for $dist >= 10.2). All other
packages that depended on python-elementtree should have been patched to use
xml.etree. If there are still hidden problems with this, let me know!

Is there any functionally that existed in python-elementtree, which is not
part of xml.etree that you relied on? (I only know of SimpleXMLWriter, which
was only used by repoview and therefore is now being shipped with repoview.)


Best,
Christoph
